General is a Villain

Yi Xiaoqiao's small face was pressed against his chest. His heart was beating beside his ears, thumping a little faster.

A familiar smell lingered at the tip of her nose, along with a faint scent of blood. It was hard to tell if the smell belonged to Mu Yi'an, her, or all of them.

The painful moans and screams beside his ears gradually disappeared.

Even so, she was still afraid. After all, this was the first time she had killed someone, and even though she had worked hard to build up her own mind and told herself that it was only an NPC, she was still afraid. The corpses had blood, temperature, and smell, and the smell of blood lingered at the tip of her nose, making it hard for her to retreat.

She slowly raised her head, but he held her tightly in place, unable to move. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of someone moving quickly in the darkness. Yi Xiaoqiao was a little nervous and did not struggle, only waiting for him to let her go.

After about a quarter of an hour, his hands loosened and Yi Xiaoqiao slowly raised her head. As far as she could see, the general's manor was very empty, and the blood on the ground had already been completely cleaned out. Everything seemed to have returned to how it was before; the red silk fluttered in the wind, and everyone was standing in an orderly manner on both sides of the palanquin.

There was no blood, no fighting, not even a trace of their presence. Everything that had just happened seemed like a nightmare for her.

Yi Xiaoqiao looked down at the blood on her palm. She knew that this was not a dream.

"General." Peaches came over with a bundle and opened it. Inside were piles of red clothes.

Mu Yi An grabbed a corner of his arm and unfurled the item. It was a red cloak embroidered with the same patterns as her wedding dress.

He wrapped her tightly in his cloak and carried her to the general's mansion.

Cui Shinji had already jumped in and opened the door. Mu Yi An carried Yi Xiaoqiao and headed straight for the wedding hall.

The general's manor was filled with guests. Although they were not married yet, the guests had already started to gobble down the food, the sounds of fighting and the smell of food were all over the place, they did not know that there were assassinations happening outside the wall, and blood was flowing.

When everyone saw Mu Yi An come in with Yi Xiaoqiao in his arms, they subconsciously let go of their chopsticks and quietened down.

Mu Yi An strode towards the wedding hall, and everyone followed him without blinking.

Amber welcomed them with a smile. "The general has finally returned, what arrangements does this Madam Qiao have? Otherwise, we can just return to the Spring Garden. It's already after the auspicious hour that we have to pay our respects, and she has already lost her phoenix coronet, so as to prevent Madam Qiao from disgracing herself here …"

Mu Yi An's footsteps paused. He coldly glanced at him and sneered, "Is Uncle An becoming my master?"

An Bo's voice paused, and subconsciously swallowed the rest of his words.

In the wedding hall.

Old Madam Mu was being comforted by both Prince Yu and Chun Yi. She had repeatedly wanted to call for people to take a look, but to no avail.

Firstly, she rarely entered the general's estate, so she wasn't familiar with the people there. Secondly, most of the servants in the estate went to borrow money from the prince's estate. With Prince Yu making decisions here, her words naturally carried no weight.

Old Madam Mu waited anxiously as she glared at Chun Yi.

Due to her previous conflict with Yi Xiaoqiao, Chun Yi had stood by and watched from the side, pretending not to see anything. In her opinion, Yi Xiaoqiao's current situation was simply asking for it, and she did not have the courage to covet what did not belong to her. Since she had the courage to covet what did not belong to her, then she would have to bear the consequences.

Old Madam Mu could not sit still and quickly stood up.

King Yu laughed, "Why are you so impatient? Who is that girl? How can she make you be so concerned about her?"

Old Madam Mu's expression changed slightly as she squeezed the armrest until her knuckles turned white. She then slowly sat down and smiled. "The Emperor bestowed the marriage, but now the palanquin has been barred from entering. How can I not be anxious? The crime of disobeying the imperial edict must be capital punishment."

King Yu shot a sidelong glance at Old Madam Mu. A smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared before it reached his eyes. "Don't worry, An'er will be back soon."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard purposely quickened footsteps coming from outside. Mu Yi An walked in quickly with Yi Xiaoqiao in his arms.

Old Madam Mu immediately stood up. "Little Qiao, what happened?"

Muyi was about to say something, but Yi Xiao Qiao said with a smile.

"It's nothing. Someone is just giving us our blessings and blessings."

The makeup on her face was a little unkempt, but her smile was sincere and moving. Old Madam Mu still had her doubts, mainly because of the thick smell of blood on her body. When Old Madam Mu smelled the smell, she frowned and was about to ask about it when the peach walked over quickly.

"Madame, the auspicious hour is over. If you don't greet them now, the heavens will not accept it."

The madame then returned to her chair.

King Yu was originally sitting in the master's seat, but he didn't even move when they entered the door. At this moment, he sat even more steadily.

Yu Heng stepped forward and shouted, "The auspicious hour has arrived, the newbie pays his respects to the hall!"

Actually, the time for them to pay respects had long passed, and the auspicious hour had also passed. Everyone gathered at the door, waiting to see what would happen.

Someone said in a low voice, "Look, this bride doesn't even have a phoenix crown."

The other said, "Not only is there no phoenix crown, there is not even a phoenix crown."

"This is also called saluting. It's so funny."

"Did you know that there was a woman who got married and fell off her sedan in the middle of the process? She was divorced not long after she got married."

"That's right, that's right. I've heard that there was a woman who had her head ripped off by someone before. In the end, she was unable to give birth to a child. After that, that woman hanged herself …"

Everyone spoke at the same time. Although they lowered their voices, it still reached the ears of Mu Yi'an and the others.

The old mistress' expression changed, her face dark with displeasure.

Mu Yi An swept his gaze over them and laughed, "I wonder if these words are directed at my wife or me?"

With this said, everyone looked at each other.

The woman who had something good to do smiled and said, "Of course it's not General Mu. General Mu is the most admirable person who protects his family and country. How could we …"

"Then what has my wife got to do with you!?" Mu Yi An coldly asked.

The woman was slightly startled and whispered, "Aren't we doing this for the general? The general is so powerful, how can he marry a bereaved star …"

He turned around to face the crowd, tightly protecting Yi Xiao Qiao as he said loudly: "First, I ordered someone to shut the door today, but it's not for little Qiao, I just want everyone to have a meal at ease. Second, I did not bring little Qiao in immediately before, and that's because of official matters, so it's not too late for me to take care of it." "Ah —" Muyi laughed coldly, turning around to face the crowd, tightly protecting Yi Xiao Qiao, loudly saying: "First, I ordered someone to close the door today, but it's not for little Qiao to eat at ease.

"Thirdly, I agree with Little Qiao. The marriage bestowed upon you by the Emperor is a match made in heaven. Anyone who dares to put up a front and spread rumors is disrespecting the Emperor!" His gaze swept across the faces of the crowd as he smiled and said, "Everyone, you have to be careful with your words."

Yi Xiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, she felt like he was as tall and big as a mountain. Her vision became blurry, and tears filled her eyes. She didn't know why, but she felt that this Muyi was such a good man.

It would be great if it really was his man!

It was a pity that he was doing this for Princess Yun Jiao.

I'm not in a good mood, said Yi.
